    Is this a HJ Sandman? If so, is it worth saving?

    Hi All, I have come across a panel van but is missing two of the three identification tags.
    It is in very bad condition with many missing parts. Has Sandman logo on the side, and fluted/GTS guards.
    The tag it does have is the VIN tag: 8M70RFL328449J.
    What are the other things apart from the tags that would identify this a Sandman.?
    Is it worth trying to save without those two tags?

    Even if it "was" a HJ Sandman it was only a 253 variant.
    No, in my opinion it is not worth saving if it's super rusty and missing tags.

    When you say really bad condition,what exactly do you mean? Full of rust, dents, no interior, or just needs a wash?

    Rust, dents, missing interior, missing motor, g/box, driveline and rear suspension, smashed front guards. Really only a damaged shell.

    Definately worth bugger all.
    If it has some part/s on it you want, or you can pick it up or drag it away for free, it may be worth your time.
    Should probably let it die in peace!
